Abstract

Sir, socially excluded groups are disproportionately affected, and commonly experience worse oral health and poorer access to dental services than the general population.1 In the Public Health England report on oral health inequalities,2 such groups were defined as: ‘people experiencing homelessness, asylum seekers and refugees, drug and alcohol dependence, Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, sex workers, people in contact with the justice system and victims of modern slavery, children and adults with additional needs and many other people that find it difficult to access healthcare'.
